I don't see why not...you'll probably end up needing a timing chain and tensioner before then, but who knows? Long as the oil change is regular and you don't overheat it, I could see it.

My '97 has over 120,000 now and still runs the same as it always did since new, and doesn't use any oil, so I expect a lot more use out of it.
